what do you do with the top part when taking a picture ? does it hang ? or do you need to hold it in your hand or put it somewhere ?

The case comes in 2 parts. The lower part is kind of permanent, unless you intentionally remove it completely. When it come to the upper part there are 2 scenarios:1- The two clippers on the sides can be opened and the top part is held by the bottom clip. Hence, the upper part is hanging. (Quick shooting)2- or it can be completely removed by unclipping the 3 clippers. Hence, it can be kept away from the camera and you will be left with the bottom part attached, half a case sort of speak.

Either works... You can remove it completely and hold it separately or you can leave it snapped and it hangs below the camera while taking your shot. Occasionally I leave it off if I'm just holding the camera by the strap (sometimes a little more convenient without it completely). Otherwise if I'm going to throw the camera in my purse and don't want it to bang around I will leave it on and just open the top when I'm ready to use.

When using the camera I usually snap it off and put in my backpack then replace it when just carrying the camera.

YES, I store it on my camera then turn it to use it. The others said no, I hope I understood your question.

It is connected on the top of the camera. Your camera must have a hot shoe for that.

If you are using the telephoto lens, you have to hold the camera very still or the images will be blurry. I use the tripod or rest my elbows on something to hold the camera still.

I just use the shoulder strap on my camera and pull it through the sides of the camera case. The case screws through the bottom of the camera base so when you unsnap the case from the camera everything is still securely fastened around your neck. If you just need a strap you can purchase a separate camera strap at any store where camera accessories are sold.

the battery door detaches and there is a slot on the grip to put it so you don't loose it. the slot is on the section that gets inserted into the camera.in the picture here it is the right where the slot is on the vertical part.

hold the base (the thin ring on the back of the housing) and unscrew the larger ring from the base. Just take care that the camera doesn't fall out once it gets loose.

The camera has a standard tripod screw mounting socket. Use mine with a tripod all the time.

It goes on very tight, you clip it in and then screw it down. It never snagged or broke off for me and i'm pretty rough on my camera. It definitely wouldn't come off without you noticing.

I put it in Lens facing down but it can go in lens up if you prefer. I would rather not pull on the lens.

Yes you have to remove it from the front clip to take a picture. When in the clip, the camera and lens points straight down at your feet and is locked in to prevent damaging the camera. You have to rotate the camera 90 degrees to the left to remove to take a photo. Getting the camera in and out of the holster takes practice, technique, and patience. After learning this love the system. The purpose of the tether is to prevent dropping the camera to the ground.

All the controls are visible in front and back of the camera. Only in the left side, where is the micro and the gps, and at bottom, where is the battery and memory card, are cover and protected. And the top of the case I prefer pull off totaly when I'm using the camera. Would be better if I could hang the case in the strip during the use of the camera with another button to close this part of the camera. But this isn't a big problem for me. I pull off easily the top when I'm using and it's ok. I liked very much.

All I know is that my Griffin Survivor case has a cover over the camera that is attached and you have to hold it (the flap) while you take your pics. I suppose i could cut it but then it would guarantee that I would catch it and it would come off and be lost as I wouldn't realize it at the time so i put up with holding it back when taking pics. Like the case alot otherwise.

The top of the case and lens cover are "hinged" at the bottom of the body case. The top half of the case is attached to the body section with two "snap" fastners and can be be "un-snapped"leaving the body case on the camera.

If you are using the camera in the landscape mode, can't you just let the cover hang loose and still be able to take a picture? How does the cover fold if you wanted to take a pic in portrait mode?

Hand held is my preference. A camera mounted on tripod will be well protected also. I use a remote shutter trip device if I use the tripod.
